Oxford, and See also:provost of See also:Eton, was the son of Henry Savile of See also:Bradley, near See also:Halifax, in See also:Yorkshire, a member of an old See also:county See also:family, the Saviles of Methley, and of his wife See also:Elizabeth, daughter of See also:Robert See also:Ramsden. He was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1561. He became a See also:fellow of Merton in 1565, proceeded B.A. in 1566, and

M.A. in 1570. He established a reputation as a See also:Greek See also:scholar and mathematician by voluntary lectures on the Almagest, and in 1575 became junior See also:proctor. In 1578 he travelled on the See also:continent of See also:Europe, where he collected See also:manuscripts and is said to have been employed by See also:Queen Elizabeth as her See also:resident in the See also:Low Countries. On his return he was named Greek See also:tutor to the queen, and in 1535 was established as warden of Merton by a vigorous exercise of the See also:interest of See also:Lord See also:Burghley and Secretary See also:Walsingham. He proved a successful and autocratic See also:head under whom the college flourished. A See also:translation of four Books of the Histories of See also:Tacitus, with a learned Commentary on See also:Roman Warfare in 1591, enhanced his reputation. On the 26th of May 1596 he obtained the provostship of Eton, the See also:reward of persistent begging. He was not qualified for the See also:post by the statutes of the college, for he was not in orders, and the queen was reluctant to name him. Savile insisted with considerable ingenuity that the queen had a right to dispense with statutes, and at last he got his way. In See also:February 16o1 he was put under See also:arrest on suspicion of having been concerned in the See also:rebellion of the See also:earl of See also:Essex. He was soon released and his friendship with the See also:faction of Essex went far to gain him the favour of See also:- JAMES

James I. So no doubt did the views he had maintained in regard to the statutes of Eton. It may have been to his See also:advantage that his See also:elder See also:brother, Sir See also:John Savile (1545–1607); was a high See also:prerogative lawyer, and was one of the barons of the See also:exchequer who in ,6o6 affirmed the right of the See also:- KING

king to impose import and export duties on his own authority. On the 3oth of See also:September 1604 Savile was knighted, and in that See also:year:he was named one of the See also:body of scholars appointed to prepare the authorized version of the See also:Bible. He was entrusted with parts of the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles and the See also:Book of See also:Revelation. In 1604 died the only son See also:born of his See also:marriage in 1592 with See also:Margaret Dacre, and Sir Henry Savile is thought to have been induced by this loss to devote the bulk of his See also:fortune to the promotion of learning, though he had a daughter who survived him and who became the See also:mother of the dramatist Sir See also:Charles See also:Sedley. His edition of See also:Chrysostom in eight See also:folio volumes was published in 1610–1613. It was printed by the king's printer, See also:- WILLIAM

He died at Eton on the 19th of February 1622. Sir Henry Savile has been sometimes confounded with another Henry Savile, called " See also:Long Harry " (1570-1617), who gave currency to the forged addition to the Chronide of See also:Asser which contains the See also:story that King See also:Alfred founded the university of Oxford.
